    So my 23 Trailboss the transmission is running around 205-210 degrees. No shifting issues…. My former 22 Silverado ran between 150-160 degrees. So question between towing and everyday daily driving are you seeing the same? With all of the issues with previous model transmission you can see my concern.

      Chris, That is something that I feel GM will fix soon. They only release the WT Trailboss. They need a LT and Z71 Trailboss also like in the Silverado trucks. Hopefully they will pull their heads out of their back sides and do it right.

    I have a 2022 Colorado Z71 with 7700lb towing. I pull a 23' Keystone often with it. I use a weight distribution hitch and have zero issues even in the Ozarks. I've wondered about a 30' camper but I believe I would be above my cargo capacity then.

      Also have a 22 and tow a 26’ trailer including hitch. I’ve got sway control now but am going to add a WDH. The dry weight is 4935 and I carry about 400 lbs of added gear . The dry hitch weight is 635 but it only has a battery at the moment. I got 14 mpg last weekend towing average. The temp stayed even and my trans temp never hit 150. Without towing I’m at 124 degrees.

    I am definitely considering this vehicle. My issue is I have a 500g bbq pit trailer I need to tow. I’ve been told the tongue weight is right around 1,000lbs. Total trailer weight is 3,500lbs. Off the top of your head does the Canyon seem competent to tow those numbers? The tongue weight is my obvious concern. Thanks to anyone who reads this and offers their two cents.

    • @ToddCotta
      @ToddCotta  Год назад +1

      I would not go that heavy with the 1k tongue weight. about 700 lbs is max. A 3500 lb trailer should not have that heavy of a front end. It was engineered incorrectly. Towing weight is more than fine, but that axel needs to be slid back about a foot or more to move the weight to the rear. Thanks for watching.

    while towing and then using the turn signal did the center display change to the blind spot(don't think it does without a trailer, a friend's Silverado only does it when trailer is hooked up)? I just took my 1st test drive in an Elevation, Denali(full driver's Instrument Cluster) is on order.

    Another good review! A question for you. I am looking to buy a 2023 Canyon. Put a deposit on it and went to test drive. While driving I heard a loud humming noise and brought it back to the dealer. After test drives and inspection by their head mechanic, found out it had a defective bearing in the rear differential. They will repair. Question is, should I still pursue this truck? Hard to believe a new truck with that kind of problem. Thanks.

    I bought the AT4, and love it...But, Sometimes my phone hooks up via bluetooth, sometimes it doesn't. A couple of times I went out to the truck and ALL 4 windows were down. A couple of times I was sitting in the truck after arriving at work, truck was off (door opened then closed) and after a few minutes of sitting there the fan inside came on, then off, then a few mins later it came on again, then went back off. Now I can push the button on the door handle to lock the truck doors, but the button does not unlock it. yellow LEDs in the front flash, but it wont unlock.
    Wondering if anybody else is seeing this with their new Canyons or Colorados? I obviously need to take it in, but time is not on my side for the dealership is not at a convenient location. Plus, the dealership sucks, delivery was the worst I ever experienced. The truck was not detailed, had protective shipping cover stickers still there, the sliding window must have been broken for there were shards of that glass in cabin, and some in bed. Windshield wiper fluid level was low, and was not filled up when I pointed it out before leaving.
    LOVE the truck, just need to get these issues resolved.

    With all towing it’s not about pulling on level roads find a decent incline to see if it can handle that and the really important thing is about stopping it does the vehicle have enough braking power to stop it in safe distance.
